Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Head over to Yusuf's posh apartment, located on Columbus Avenue, overlooking Middle Park. When you arrive, you'll run into a rather humorous scene, where an extended cutscene will take place. Yusuf, with no pants on, is running around his apartment dancing with a gold-plated Uzi in his hand, doing coke and hanging out with a disgruntled hooker. After speaking for a few minutes, things get even more interesting when Yusuf's father shows up. Extremely angry at the scene he's found, Yusuf forces Luis to leave. He'll get in touch with him once he can give his father the slip.

As soon as you find yourself outside, get into the convertible in front of you. Yusuf will eventually call you and tell you to head southward to Star Junction. So, do just that. The GPS will bring you to your destination, which is specifically located at the intersection of Kunzite Street and Burlesque. When you arrive there (just outside a Burger Shot), you'll see Yusuf flying towards you in a diesel-looking helicopter. You'll be ordered to get in the chopper, so abandon your car and get in the helicopter to continue.

Use the helicopters broken controls (you should be used to them by now) to catch up with another helicopter, which will be flying around Liberty City, and will be represented on your HUD. This helicopter is carrying an APC to police headquarters, and Yusuf wants it. The idea is to fly up close to the helicopter, which is easy enough to do. Once you do that, the more complicated leg of the mission begins. Yusuf will take control of the helicopter (thankfully) while you wield a sniper rifle. You have to shoot the four bolts off of the helicopter's cables that are holding the APC in place, and you should use the sniper rifle's scope to do this. This can be frustrating, but all-in-all, your patience (and accuracy) will pay off. If you're confused, the bolts are attached at the end of the ropes, along the APC, and are yellow in color.

As long as you're quick enough in shooting the four bolts, the APC will fall wherever it may. It all depends on where you were when the bolts were shot off. Once the APC falls to Earth, you can jump out of the helicopter, using your parachute to land safely on the surface below. Once you do that, follow the dot on your HUD to reach the APC's location. You may want to use a car to get there quickly and efficiently, though you can walk or run if you so desire. Once you get to the APC, the endgame will commence.

The APC is heavily-armored, but it doesn't have much in the way of weaponry (after all, it's a personnel carrier, not a tank in the classical sense). So, you're going to be hard-pressed to combat the cops that are swarming all over you as soon as you arrive at the APC's location. Quickly get in the armored vehicle, and Yusuf will call you, telling you to bring the APC to a predetermined location. Unfortunately, until you lose the cops, you won't see this destination on your map or HUD. So, lose the cops. It's going to take some time, because the APC just doesn't have much speed behind it, but because it's so heavily-armored, you should be able to sustain massive amounts of damage, and smash through most vehicles as well. Once you finally lose the cops, you'll find that your destination is at the far southern end of Algonquin, in an industrial location off of Flatfish Place. Bring the APC there, and your mission will end in success.
